The director got anxious as well because he had never come across such an odd condition before.
However, he forced himself to put on a calm front because he didn’t want to be outmatched by Zeke. “D-Don’t
worry, Mr. Middleton... I-It’s normal... I-I’ll deal with it immediately... Nurse, go get me some sedative and coagulant
immediately.”
As soon as the nurse heard the director’s instruction, she rushed over to the pharmacy to get the items requested.
In the meantime, two of the wriggling things had merged into one.
As time went by, it expanded under Jeffrey’s skin. In the end, it burst out of Jeffrey’s leg. Blood spewed out of his leg
with something black.
Immediately, the onlooker’s eyes were glued to the thing in black.
“What the hell... What on earth is this?”
“It looks like a worm of some sort... wait, It’s a red-colored maggot...”
“It seems like this are the things that have been messing around in the mayor’s leg. I am sure that this is the culprit
that’s been tormenting the mayor.”
“Oh, God! There’s maggots in the mayor’s veins? T-That’s gross! I’m having goosebumps just by imagining it in my
mind.”
“I-It must have been the source of the curse! Everyone, stay away from the maggots!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe onlookers fled immediately and observed from afar when they figured out the thing on the ground was none
other than a cursed maggot.
As Jeffrey’s veins had burst, he yelled hysterically because he couldn’t possibly bear the excruciating sensation he
felt. Soon, he was rendered unconscious on the bed.
Finally, the nurse returned with the requested items.
The director was about to apply the sedative and coagulant immediately.
However, Zeke stopped the director in the nick of time and condemned him, “Do you want Jeffrey dead? I have told
you not to apply any medicine, right? The more medicine you apply throughout the treatment, the more
complicated his condition will get. The maggots are extremely sensitive towards drugs of sorts.”
When the director heard Zeke’s words, he was on the verge of breaking down.
He would be doomed should Jeffrey pass on in his hospital.
In fact, he might drag his family members down with him.
Hence, he decided to put everything aside for the moment and begged Zeke, “Dr. Williams, please save Mr.
Middleton... Please... I can’t have him pass on in my hospital...”
Zeke took a deep breath and instructed, “Go get me a few strands of strings,”
Huh?
Everyone was dumbfounded when they heard Zeke’s words.
He’s going to save the mayor with a few strands of strings? He must be kidding, right?
Once again, Zeke repeated himself. “We can’t allow these wriggling maggots to merge into one. Otherwise, Jeffrey
will die due to excessive bleeding. Once that happens, even God won’t be able to save him then. We need the
strings to block the veins and stop the maggots for the time being.”
The director yelled angrily and instructed the nurse, “Hurry up and get it immediately!”
The nurse rushed over and returned with a few strands of strings before long.
Immediately, Zeke tied the strings all over Jeffrey’s leg firmly to prevent the flow of blood for the time being.
As expected, the maggots could no longer merge into one as they couldn’t travel across the strings.
Zeke finally heaved a sigh of relief once he had everything under control.
He instructed the director, “Go get me some sulfur. The cursed maggots are terrified of sulfur the most.”
As soon as the director heard Zeke’s words, he rushed over to the pharmacy and returned with the requested
sulfur.
He handed it over to Zeke.
Zeke first sprinkled some Sulphur on the cursed maggots that was on the ground that had been ejected previously.
As soon as the cursed maggots came across sulfur, it wriggled in pain. Within half a minute, it burst on the spot.
Blood spewed everywhere as a result because it had been consuming Jeffrey’s blood all along.
Immediately, Zeke applied sulfur on the maggots within Jeffrey’s leg.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe turned around and glanced at the director once he was done. “Stop standing around. Come over and help stop
the bleeding.”
It turned out the burst vein from before was still bleeding as they were speaking.
The director nodded and rushed over immediately. He instructed the nurse to get him a pair of forceps and some
gauze to wrap up the wound.
He dared not apply any medicine anymore because he was afraid he would provoke the cursed maggots once
again.
Within five minutes, the director had stopped the bleeding.
Miraculously, the cursed maggots within Jeffrey’s leg disappeared due to the sulfur applied a few minutes ago. They
were nowhere to be seen anymore.
However, the veins on Jeffrey’s leg became swollen once again. In short, it reverted to its initial condition.
The director wiped his sweat and placed his trembling hands on the mayor’s wrist to check his pulse.
Thankfully, everything was fine.
He felt a sense of relief and squatted on the ground subconsciously to catch his breath.
He was drenched in sweat due to the terrifying experience he had to go through mere moments ago.
Finally, Jeffrey slowly opened his eyes as he regained consciousness. He surveyed his surroundings and his gaze fell
onto Zeke in the end.
